I thought it was time I painted a fuller picture of who my wife is, and what I love about her, to redress the balance in this thread a bit.

She is a loving and devoted mother to our 3 daughters. She would lay her life down for either me or them. She is fierce in her devotion to us, and wants only the best for us. If anyone threatens any of us, she will come out swinging in our defense, like a cornered animal protecting its cubs.

Her stated goal, before we even got married, was to make me happy. That is still her goal (which is why I think we can work on these issues auccessfully). She believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. When she loves, she loves completely.

She is in some ways a simple soul, with no need of the complicated trappings of modern life. She is at her happiest when she's with us, and the love in our family life is humming along. Material things are neither here nor there to her.

Her faith in God is beautiful to see. She is a true Proverbs 31 wife. She spends time in prayer every day. She is committed to her own personal growth, and working in her own ways on the issues she knows she has.

She is physically beautiful. She's not a supermodel, but she is good looking (and to me she's beautiful of course ). She is tall and skinny, with a good figure. She wasn't always that way - she had weight loss surgery a few years ago, and lost 145 lbs to get to where she is now. Which brings me to another point - she's not afraid to take risks. She weighs things up carefully, but when a course of action is obviously right, she will take it, even though it's scary.

So, I hope that paints more of a picture of what I love about her. The rest of our relationship is so good - it's just the sex part that needs to catch up.
